The Tennessee Titans’ losing streak was extended to four in Week 15 when they lost a tough one to the Los Angeles Chargers, 17-14. And with that four-game skid, the Titans have their longest losing streak of the Mike Vrabel era.
Buy Titans TicketsAnd the Titans now find themselves in quite the predicament, with their once comfortable lead in the AFC South down to one game after the Jacksonville Jaguars upset the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, 40-34, in overtime.
Making matters worse, the Jaguars are on the complete opposite end of the spectrum right now, as they’re playing their best football of the 2022 campaign while the Titans are playing their worst.
It didn’t seem plausible that the Titans could blow their once-commanding lead, but now it almost feels like it’s more possible than not with how awful this team looks.
After their latest lost, head coach Mike Vrabel and several players reacted. Safety Kevin Byard was brutally honest in particular.
HC Mike Vrabel
Mike Vrabel said there's not really much he can tell the guys other than to keep working after a tough loss like this. Said they spilled their guts out on the field. #Titans pic.twitter.com/TkKDLK22Kd

Mike Vrabel said the offensive line isn't the only group that's making it harder on the offense. He pointed to how there were times that Ryan Tannehill had time but WRs weren't getting open and vice versa. #Titans pic.twitter.com/jusuUU9Vnu
